The Joy of Six

An early morning call to Ingbirchworth produced a very big surprise in the form of 6 Avocets. Present at 06.55 and predictably flighty ( dogs were taking their owners for walks at this time already!). At least two juvs and four adults - one of the ads had the following colour ring combinations above the knee - Right leg-Green above red; left leg-white above blue (at 60X at a few hundred meters range). Still present at 07.35 when I left an Hudds birder adding them to his local list!
I'll be very interested to know where these came from. Info already passed to our recorder!
Also ad Yellow-legged Gull.
Cheers
Russ
